2-2:30 Helena Norberg Hodge: "Big Picture Activism"
Local Futures, also known as Economics of Happiness, is an organization founded by Helena Norberg Hodge. They are pioneers of the new economy movement, that is dedicated to the renewal of community, ecological health and local economies world wide.
In July 2017 Helena Norberg Hodge spoke at Schumacher College in England. She began her Earth Talk by recalling the experience that changed her life, her visit to the remote region of Ladakh, in northern India. Ladakh had escaped colonial domination until the late 1970. In 1975 Helena Norberg Hodge found an almost intact traditional culture. But by the late 1980s Ladakhi culture had been dramatically changed and many of their values destroyed – not by war or slavery but by the introduction of globalized trade and consumerism.
Helena Norberg Hodge is a recipient of the Right Livelihood Award. Her book Ancient Futures describes the Ladakh experience and has been translated into more than 35 languages. She is the producer of the award-winning documentary 'The Economics of Happiness' and director of Local Futures and the International Alliance for Localization' (IAL)

"Confessions of Nat Turner 1968"
On the Heels of Nate Parker's 2016 Sundance Film Festival success with his film Birth of a Nation, chronicling the life of Nat Turner, the iconic man who led the 1831 Slave Rebellion in Virginia, we thought this was the perfect moment to tell the story of the Nat Turner film that was almost made in 1968.
At stake, one of the hero's of the African American struggle for Freedom in America was told from a "White" perspective. Included in this fictional characterization of Nat Turner created by Styron was Nat Turner's thoughts of rape and other harm to the White community which enslaved him. To hear the incredible polemics used by Ossie Davis to push back on this project is priceless.
Nate Parker's film 'Birth of A Nation' takes the story of Nat Turner and the Slave Rebellion he led to the screen from the African American perspective. We imagine Ossie Davis and James Baldwin smiling down on this moment. Produced by Mark Torres. From Pacifica Radio Archives, 1 (800) 735-0230, http://www.pacificaradioarchives.org

12-4:45 Col L. Fletcher Prouty
"Understanding Special Operations and Their Impact on the Vietnam War Era"
Part 2, 'The Secret Team'
This is the second of 3 programs constituting the entire book/interview "Understanding Special Operations and Their Impact on The Vietnam War Era" (1989) which we have frequently played in November over 3 weeks. The interview was conducted brilliantly by David Ratcliffe of rat haus reality press which published the book and which we offered as premiums the last couple of years which emptied the publisher's supply.
( From www.prouty.com )
"Col. Prouty was the model for the 'Man X' in Oliver Stone's film 'JFK'.
Col. Fletcher Prouty answered e-mail from this site while he was alive.
"Col. Prouty spent 9 of his 23 year military career in the Pentagon (1955-1964): 2 years with the Secretary of Defense, 2 years with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and 5 years with Headquarters, U.S. Air Force. In 1955 he was appointed the first "Focal Point" officer between the CIA and the Air Force for Clandestine Operations per National Security Council Directive 5412. He was Briefing Officer for the Secretary of Defense (1960-1961), and for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"At times he would be called to meet with Allen Dulles and John Foster Dulles at their home on highly classified business. He was assigned to attend MKULTRA meetings. In this capacity Col. Prouty would be at the nerve center of the Military-Industrial Complex at a time unequalled in American History. He has written on these subjects, about the JFK assassination, the Cold War period, and Vietnamese warfare, and the existence of a "Secret Team". He backs up his his work with seldom seen or mentioned official documents - some never before released.
"Fletcher Prouty offers a rare glimpse of the "Power Elite" as described by Buckminster Fuller, or "The High Cabal" as Winston Churchill refered to them; and how they really operate. Those who have not been in a position to witness events such as these from the inside would not understand how invisible but ultimately effective they and their power structures are."

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 15
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #977 - Operation Mind Control, Part 4: Subverting the Political Will, Part 2”
Continuing our examination of the intelligence community’s mind control programs, this broadcast recaps research into Jonestown. Specifically, we examine Jonestown as a probable intelligence front and extension of the CIA’s mind control efforts.
This, in turn, is against the background of indications that Julian Assange’s roots are in the Santiniketan Park Association, as well as Bernie Sanders’ associate Tulsi Gabbard, who is deeply involved with an offshoot of the Hare Krishna cult.
The program begins with a talk given by Joe Holsinger, a legislative aide to the late Representative Leo Ryan.
Mr. Holsinger made a number of points about apparent intelligence community links to Jonestown, indicating that Jonestown may well have been an “op,” with a number of facets.
Holsinger made a number of points in his presentation, including:
1.-Richard Dwyer, alleged to be CIA station chief in Guyana by credible sources was very close to Jones, who could be heard shouting “Get Dwyer out of here” in a recording made in the immediate run-up to the Jonestown massacre.
2.-George Philip Blakey, a CIA operative previously involved with UNITA in Angola, made the initial down payment on the Guyana property that became Jonestown.
3.-Blakey is the husband of Debbie Layton Blakey, whose brother Larry Layton, Jr. led the shooter squad at the Port Kaituma air strip. Lawrence Layton Sr., the father of Debbie and Larry Jr., had been chief of the Chemical Warfare Research program at Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. Layton, Sr. and his wife Lisa were also members of the People’s Temple.
4.-There were credible accounts of the Jonestown population being used to prop up the Guyanese government.
5.-Representative Leo Ryan was co-author of the Hughes-Ryan amendment that obliged the CIA to give Congress prior notice of covert operations. If Jonestown was a CIA operation, it would have violated the Hughes-Ryan amendment. Ryan’s assassination at the Port Kaituma airstrip sent an unambiguous message agency critics.
6.-Members of the People’s Temple at Jonestown had medical checks every day, indicating that some form of experimentation may have been going on.
7.-Comparatively few of the victims actually drank the poisoned Kool Aid. Many were shot to death and others had been killed by lethal injections administered in their arms.
8.-After several days of officialdom saying that several hundred victims had been found and hundreds of others were missing, the “missing” Jonestown population were said to have been found under the first group of victims, a highly unlikely scenario.
Program Highlights Include:
1.-People’s Temple attorney Mark Lane’s attempts to get Grace Stephens–a key witness in the assassination of Martin Luther King–to Jonestown, where she would have died in the massacre.
2.-Mark Lane’s dual roles as attorney for People’s Temple (which he maintained was a “paradise on earth”) and the attorney for James Earl Ray, the patsy for the assassination of Martin Luther King. Lane’s [correct] assertion that Ray was innocent was badly tainted after the Jonestown massacre took place.
3.-Lawrence Layton’s marriage into the Philip family, whose German roots extended back to I.G. Farben and Siemens.
4.-Lawrence Layton’s work on the Manhattan Project.
5.-Orders from “high up” that all politically sensitive papers and identification were removed from the bodies at Jonestown.
6.-The fact that many of the bodies had identification tags on them.
7.-Zbigniew Brezinski aide Robert Pastor’s giving of the order to strip the bodies of identification.
8.-The suspicious suicide of Anita Philip, the wife of I.G. Farben lawyer Hugo Philip.

1-2 The Ralph Nader Radio Hour
"Representation Without Taxation!"
Economist James Henry takes apart the Republican tax plan, calling it “the largest wealth transfer in history to the ruling class” And activist, law student, Pete Davis, tells us how he’s trying to get Harvard Law School to fulfill it’s stated mission by funneling fewer of its graduates toward powerful corporate firms and more toward the public interest.
James S. Henry is an economist, lawyer and investigative journalist, and former chief economist at McKinsey & Co. He is an Edward R. Murrow Fellow at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and INSPIRE Fellow at its Institute for Global Leadership.
“There was just a Price Waterhouse conference on this bill yesterday (Nov. 6th) behind closed doors. I heard all about it because I had a friend who went there. And he said, these people have already figured out how to game this new Trump plan, so it will make it even more full of loopholes than the tax system already is… They’re sort of chuckling among themselves at what a gigantic giveaway this would be with their clients sitting there in the room, slapping each other on the back.” James S. Henry: economist, lawyer, investigative journalist, and former chief economist at McKinsey & Co
Pete Davis is a law student at Harvard Law School, whose own website PeteDavis.org is subtitled “Civic Ideas For a New Generation.” At Harvard Law, he has launched an initiative called “The Third Century Project,” which challenges the law school to fulfill its mission by encouraging more of its graduates to go into careers in the public interest. He produced a report entitled, “Our Bicentennial Crisis: A Call to Action for Harvard Law School’s Public Interest Mission.”
“Who’s going to be the watchdog of the law? We don’t have a National Institute of Health or a Center of Disease Control for the legal system. What that watchdog needs to be for public justice – just like public health in the medical system – is the law schools. And the law school with the most power is Harvard Law School. They set the tone, and they are abdicating their responsibility as a watchdog.” Pete Davis, author of Our Bicentennial Crisis: A Call to Action for Harvard Law School’s Public Interest Mission

2-3 Todd Chretien, "Red October: The Russian Revolution"
The upheaval and regime change in Russia in 1917 “shook the world” in the words of journalist John Reed. In place of the feudal czarist monarchy came radical revolutionaries. A civil war ensued pitting former regime elements against the communists. In addition, a number of countries, including the U.S., Britain and France didn’t like what they saw and heard from Lenin, Trotsky and the other Bolshevik leaders. They invaded Russia in an attempt to destroy the revolution and bring back the old order. Churchill said the Russian Revolution must be “strangled in its cradle.” They didn’t succeed. A few years after Lenin’s death in 1924, Stalin takes over the country. His rivals are sent into exile, jailed or killed. The dictatorship calcifies. In 1991 the Soviet Union ends. The centenary of the revolution has sparked renewed interest in its history.
Todd Chretien is a member of the International Socialist Organization and is a frequent contributor to Socialist Worker and the International Socialist Review. He is the editor of Eyewitnesses to the Russian Revolution. From Alternative Radio, 1 (800) 444-1977, alternativeradio.org
3-3:30 The Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature
"Ecstatic Revolt: The New Mythos of Eve"
As the creation story of Judeo-Christian beliefs, the biblical recounting of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden has long had profound influence around the world. So what's it like to be named Eve? World-renowned playwright and activist Eve Ensler explores her own personal journey into her namesake. The provocative author of 'The Vagina Monologues' and founder of V-Day to end violence against women suggests there's another story beneath the traditional story. For her, it's both very personal - and very political.' From www.bioneers.org 1 (877) bioneer
